Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'A looking-back lyricism that befits a 22-year-old poetry-lover ... Reveal[s] how notions of home and of the self may be more defined by the people we travel with than where we end up (Independent on Sunday)

A classic coming-of-age narrative that also explores the dark side of Brazil's political history (Observer)

Vibrant (Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

I was thirteen. Being thirteen is like being in the middle of nowhere. Which was accentuated by the fact that I was in the middle of nowhere. In a house that wasn't mine. in a city that wasn't mine, in a country that wasn't mine, with a one-man family that, in spite of the intersections and intentions (all very good), wasn't mine.

When her mother dies, thirteen-year-old Vanja is left with no family and no sense of who she is, where she belongs, and what she should do. Determined to find her biological father to fill the void that has so suddenly appeared in her life, Vanja decides to leave Rio de Janeiro to live in Colorado with her stepfather, a former guerrilla notorious for his violent past. From there she goes in search of her biological father, tracing her mother's footsteps and gradually discovering the truth about herself.

Rendered in lyrical and passionate prose, Crow Blue is a literary road trip through Brazil and America, and through dark decades of family and political history.
